- Toast the bread slices until they are golden and slightly crispy.
- Pour the egg mixture over each slice, ensuring it soaks in.

Notes
Cheesy Egg Toast is best enjoyed fresh. If storing leftovers, allow to cool completely before putting in an airtight container. Refrigerated, it will last for about 1-2 days. To reheat, use an oven or toaster oven instead of a microwave to keep the bread crispy.
